ABSTRACT

Using the concept of a trajectory, we trace one child’s negotiation of his sense of belonging within his early childhood centre through analysing his participation in conflict and conflict-like interactions. Video data were gathered 2 days a week over a 6-month period from the start of his attendance at the centre. Sociolinguistic interactional analysis showed the child’s experience was one of learning and testing the norms and rules of centre life allowing him to negotiate a sense of belonging that straddled the identities of being a helper and eventually a member of the ‘big boys’ group.

归属的轨迹：在幼儿中心协商冲突和身份

摘要

使用轨迹的概念，我们通过分析一个孩子参与冲突和类似冲突的互动来追踪他在幼儿中心内对归属感的协商。从他开始就读该中心起的 6 个月内，每周 2 天收集视频数据。社会语言学交互分析表明，孩子的经历是学习和测试中心生活的规范和规则之一，这使他能够协商一种归属感，这种归属感跨越了作为帮助者和最终成为“大男孩”群体成员的身份。
